  • Blogger Blogs in Outlook – Incorrect Dates

    This has been obvious to me for a while – whenever I viewed this blog in Outlook 2007 via the common RSS feed store, the dates were all incorrect and so new posts appeared at random within the list. I finally found a fix yesterday – the post was based upon ATOM technology and not…

It also means that in web servers such as IIS you can bind this certificate to the site and use up only one…
